| dc.description | The article addresses the use of durum wheat in rations for growing-finishing beef cattle in North Dakota. The state ranks first in the U.S. in the production of durum and hard red spring wheat and second in all wheat. If price becomes competitive with feed grains or if weather or harvest conditions cause some damage and drop in quality for milling, wheat produced in North Dakota could become available for feed. With only very limited recent information on the feed values of hard red spring wheat or durum wheat for cattle, experiments were designed to evaluate wheat at several levels in the rations and to obtain some information on how best to use wheat for cattle feeding. It was discovered that both hard red spring,wheat and durum wheat could be used successfully for finishing cattle
on high energy rations. Steers on wheat rations had more abscessed
livers than did those on barley or oats rations. | |
